Oh hello there!!! I don't have a 31 day challenge post today, so I'll be behind from now on haha. I did say there'd be a point where I'd do this challenge on my own terms and that is now!! Hey, I did 16 days in a row!! I do actually have my design today ready but I didn't take pictures in time so no post today, so I have a "filler" "swatch" today.
I think this is my first neutral nails post cause I never post neutral nails. I got this polish in June with a Marie Claire magazine along with some Ciate caviar beads (Shooting Star). It was the only reason I bought the magazine. I am not really interested in fashion so these magazines are wasted on me, but free nail polish is not. It came in quite a cute box too. But the labels on both bottles are mixed up (e.g. Cookies and Cream has a label saying Shooting Star on the back).
I'm just so meh about neutrals, I think this is a pretty colour but it doesn't do anything for me. It would be a great base for nail art I guess (on that note I do have nail art on this). I just can't bring myself to love a neutral (also I prefer Nails Inc - Porchester Square). These snazzy brands with their nice neutrals are wasted on me.
First Ciate polish, not many polishes from the brand interest me. They're nice, but in my opinion dupable and not worth the price. Also I find cheaper polishes tend to be nicer. But the name is super cute!!
I used 3 coats, 2 probably would've been enough but there were some streaky patches. And yeah there are bubbles on my pinky, my fault, obviously I should've been a bit more patient. It applied great, glided and the brush fit my nails well. Oh this is a nice polish just not my thing.
Thanks for reading and I hope you have a lovely day!! :)
So many articles I missed on your blog... I'm so late, it's because of my dissertation, I'm so sorry! I'm catching up everything now! So, this polish looks nice, but I don't like neutral colours like that on their own (I'm way too crazy for that :p). However, for an autumn nail art, it could be awesome! With a golden pattern or something like that...
ReplyDeleteHey that's ok, we're all busy right now and I'm just glad you're reading at all!! Haha I'm not a fan of neutral colours on their own either (as you can probably tell from the abundance of bright on this blog :P), but I think they can be great bases!! :)
DeleteIsh, I'm so jelly! Wish I could snag magazines that offers free polishes too! (LOL) Anyway, I think that's a pretty neutral! Granted, a rare sight here too :P But yeap! They are great canvases! ~.^
ReplyDeleteHehe that's one good thing about the magazines here, free nail polish!! Every opportunity of free nail polish I am there :P Yeah I really think it's lovely but neutrals are not everyone's thing (like us haha), I think it'd be a great base for a matte rainbow glitter polish!! :)
